OnePlus Nord 5: OnePlus enthusiasts in India have reason to look forward to, as the much-awaited OnePlus Nord 5 is set to make an appearance within the next few months. Fresh leaks suggest important specifications, release schedule, and pricing of this mid-range offering. With an emphasis on performance and display, the phone is turning out to be a worthy successor to its forerunner in the Nord series.
OnePlus Nord 5 Price in India and Launch Timeline
As per tipster Debayan Roy, the OnePlus Nord 5 will be launched in India in June or July. The phone is expected to be priced at approximately ₹30,000. This is in line with the pricing of the earlier Nord series and puts the phone in the competitive mid-range segment. The OnePlus Nord 5 is said to be a rebranded variant of the soon-to-be-launched OnePlus Ace 5V that will be launched in China.
OnePlus Nord 5 Key Features
The device may sport a flat OLED screen of 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate for smooth viewing. The device may be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400e processor, which is reported to be an optimized variant of the vanilla Dimensity 9400. The configuration should provide good performance, particularly for gaming and multitasking.
When it comes to cameras, the OnePlus Nord 5 is rumored to pack a dual rear camera setup. This may consist of a 50MP primary sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. On the front, the phone may pack a 16MP selfie shooter. Battery life is also a major highlight, with a reported 7,000mAh battery that has 100W wired fast charging for quick power boosts.
Design and Build Details
Leaks indicate that the OnePlus Nord 5 could have a plastic mid-frame paired with a glass rear, providing it with a premium feel while ensuring durability. The phone may also have dual stereo speakers, an IR blaster, and an in-display fingerprint reader for convenience and security.
Competition in India
If it is launched around ₹30,000, the OnePlus Nord 5 will be competing against devices from the likes of iQOO, Realme, and Xiaomi, all of which pack solid features in this price segment. With its huge battery and MediaTek Dimensity processor, it may excel among power users.
What to Expect from OnePlus Ace 5V
As the Nord 5 is thought to be based on the Ace 5V, which will initially be available in China, expectations run high. The Ace 5V is tipped to feature the same Dimensity 9400e SoC and 7,000mAh battery, and it provides a clear indication of what Indian consumers can expect when the Nord 5 is out.
